"The fascia is named for an Italian professor of anatomical sciences and surgery, Antonio Scarpa (1752–1832), who held tenure at the University of Pavia 2."
"Superiorly and laterally, Scarpa fascia fades out over the upper thoracic wall and midaxillary lines. Medially and inferiorly, it fades into the linea alba and the pubic symphysis. Just below the inguinal ligament in the upper thigh, it blends into the fascia lata. It is continuous with the superficial fascia of the perineum (Colles fascia) and of the penis, scrotum and labia (Dartos fascia) 3."
